This short video shows m. scalenes in the context of “Dizziness, Nausea and Vertigo.” A group of three muscles (anterior, middle, and posterior) located on the sides of the neck. They start from cervical vertebrae (C2-C7) and attach to first and second ribs. This links the muscle’s location and role in movement with the areas where tension or pain may be felt.
A group of three muscles (anterior, middle, and posterior) located on the sides of the neck. They start from cervical vertebrae (C2-C7) and attach to first and second ribs. The clip places this within “Dizziness, Nausea and Vertigo” so it is easier to understand what is happening in the area, not only where symptoms are felt.
Muscle pain is not always local. When a muscle is overloaded or lacks control during movement, tension or pain can also be felt in a nearby area.
This is an educational visual linked to “Dizziness, Nausea and Vertigo.” If symptoms keep returning, restrict movement, or their source is unclear, a functional assessment is a more useful next step than guessing.
